Sovereign’s Great Path

Teng Yan looked at Xie Lu in front of him, and a look of shock flashed across his face.    

Wait a minute.    

Teng Yan was stunned yet again.    

Temple of Burial?    

The first possibility anyone could think of upon seeing these three words was that this was a tomb, and there was definitely a peerless expert buried here. Previously, the people of the Celestial Sect of Wonders thought the same way. In their eyes, this was the tomb of a strong warrior, and there must be a countless number of buried treasures in this Golden Hall, some of them were even heaven-defying treasures. However, Teng Yan had not seen anything on his way from the Golden Hall, even within this semi-circular space, there was nothing at all.    

Grave?    

There was no coffin.    

There were no burial objects.    

Xie Lu!    

There was only a long blood-red blade that claimed to be a godly weapon.    

Temple of Burial?    

What was buried here was not a 'god', but a divine weapon.    

A fallen weapon.    

BOOM!    

As he thought about it, Teng Yan's body couldn't help but shake. Looking at Xie Lu, his eyes held a hint of shock: "Temple of Burial, was this Golden Hall specially made for you?" In the next second, Teng Yan's terrified voice directly sounded out, and at the same time, a frightening wave of emotion rose in Teng Yan's heart.    

A weapon, a tomb?    

This    

It was completely unheard-of.    

"Probably." Hearing this, Xie Lu said weakly.    

BOOM!    

Teng Yan's body shook again.    

"You, since you say that you're a Divine Weapon, a Divine Weapon that can even instantly kill Saints, why are you here? How could you have fallen? Also, since you have already fallen, you … "Teng Yan did not continue speaking, but her meaning was already very clear.    

Xie Lu?    

It shouldn't exist here.    

Fall?    

Doesn't that mean death?    

Central Region?    

Saints were the pinnacle of this world. How could a Divine Weapon fall here?    

"Actually, I don't know either." Hearing that, Xie Lu spoke out helplessly.    

"You don't know?"    

"Yes, I don't know. When I woke up eighteen years ago, I had already realized that I was about to disappear. As a Divine Weapon, once the Weapon Spirit disappears, the Divine Weapon will turn into an ordinary weapon. Fortunately, 18 years ago, I used my blade energy to devour some of the living aura in the surroundings, allowing me to survive until now. Furthermore, all the memories from before have disappeared, so I am unable to answer your question. " Xie Lu said indifferently.    

RUU…!    

Hearing this, Teng Yan's body trembled.    

Saber Qi?    

Swallowing life?    

Blood mist!    

Instantly, Teng Yan thought of the strange blood mist from eighteen years ago on the Celestial Sect of Wonders's Forbidden Peak. Wasn't that the terrifying existence that was able to devour the lives of countless disciples on the's Forbidden Peak? Teng Yan never thought that the blood mist would actually be the blade aura of Xie Lu's Divine Weapon.    

It was too shocking.    

It was too strange.    

This was too unbelievable.    

Brush    

Teng Yan locked onto Xie Lu in shock.    

"Then how do you want this young master to help you?" Then, Teng Yan asked.    

"Swallow me."    

"What?" Hearing that, Teng Yan was shocked, staring straight at Xie Lu in disbelief, "Devour you? Are you kidding? " In the next second, Teng Yan's shocked voice sounded out, telling him to swallow a Divine Weapon, was he joking? And, devouring Xie Lu, was he trying to help him?    

"No, I'm not joking. I've already said it before, I am a fallen artifact spirit, dissipating is only a matter of time for me. But, there is one way that I can survive, and even return to my peak state. That is, you engulf me, and I can merge together with you, and in other words, I can allow you to forcefully recognize me as your master, submit to me, and from then on, you will be the master of Xie Lu's divine weapon. " In the next second, Xie Lu explained without the slightest hesitation.    

Master?    

Teng Yan's heart fiercely shook.    

Brush    

Looking at Xie Lu, Teng Yan had a weird expression on his face.    

Accepting a master in a godly weapon?    

You have to understand that Xie Lu himself had said it himself, the Divine Weapon was an existence that could instantly kill a saint, and it was only relying on the Qi of the blade, then how terrifying would the true strength of the Divine Weapon be? If he could subdue Xie Lu's Divine Weapon, wouldn't that mean that he could instantly kill Saints with the Divine Weapon? At that time, who in the central region would be able to contend against him?    

The moment Xie Lu appeared, he swept across the entire world.    

It wasn't impossible!    

But Teng Yan would not think that way, or believe Xie Lu so easily. The Weapon Spirit was clearly Xie Lu who possessed the wisdom of a human. How could he so easily choose to live under someone else's roof? Immediately, Teng Yan's surroundings furrowed as he asked: "Why is it this young master?"    

Eh?    

Hearing that, Xie Lu was startled.    

"Because your soul is different from ordinary people, or perhaps you are training your soul." Following that, Xie Lu spoke out.    

Weng! *    

Teng Yan could not help but be taken aback.    

"I just said, the artifact spirit is the soul of a Divine Weapon, just like the soul of a human being. If I want to live, or perhaps if I want to return to my peak state and reproduce the sharpness of a Divine Weapon, then I have to restore my body and strengthen myself, that is to say, cultivate my soul. As long as I fuse with you, then I can also receive nourishment when you cultivate in my soul. This way, I won't die out, and at the same time, your soul will continue to grow stronger and I will be able to continuously recover. I can even return to my peak state and become a true divine weapon spirit. And you are the only person I've met who cultivates the soul. Although you're very weak, I don't have the time to wait. " Xie Lu explained without hesitation.    

BOOM!    

Teng Yan's body trembled.    

Cultivating the soul!    

The reason why the divine weapon spirit had chosen him was actually because Teng Yan was cultivating his soul. Upon hearing this answer, Teng Yan instantly understood in his heart why the Celestial Sect of Wonders had not made any movements in the past eighteen years, and had precisely happened right after he came here. Everything was actually because of him. Wasn't Teng Yan cultivating the Chaotic Heavenly Mantra when the Temple of Burial was born, isn't he just trying to improve his soul?    

So that's how it was.    

However, Teng Yan's brows quickly knitted again. He looked at Xie Lu and said, "So what you mean by devouring is actually the fusion of our souls? From then on, they were one? If that's the case, then I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request. "    

"Why?" Xie Lu's face was anxious.    

"Very simple. First, you are a divine weapon spirit. Your soul strength must have reached a certain degree of strength. This young master's soul is absolutely unable to compare with yours. If by any chance you devour this young master, wouldn't this young master become your puppet? To put it bluntly, this young master will not be this young master, but you, Xie Lu. "Secondly, the fusion is beneficial to you, and it does not seem to have any benefits for me. In fact, a portion of the fruits of my training will even be distributed to you. This will only implicate myself." Teng Yan answered immediately.    

Fusion?    

It was not worth it. There was even risk involved.    

Eh?    

Hearing this, Xie Lu could not help but be taken aback.    

"No, no, no, your scruples are superfluous. Since you are a Soul Cultivator, then you should know what devouring means. It is that from now on, if you let me live, I will live; if you let me die, I simply cannot live, so how can I devour you? To put it bluntly, after being devoured, it means that I am only a part of your soul and I need to be under you in order to survive. To make it simpler, it will be the same as when you humans surrender to the Martial Beast. Xie Lu immediately explained.    

Eh?    

Teng Yan could not help but be taken aback.    

It seemed to be true.    

"As for the benefits you mentioned, I admit that once you fuse with me, it should be you who devours me. It will indeed have a certain effect on your cultivation speed, but it's not like you don't have any benefits!" What is a Divine Weapon? As long as I am not destroyed, then Xie Lu is still a Divine Weapon. Although he is temporarily unable to unleash the full power of the Divine Weapon due to me, but it is not something that those ordinary weapons can compare to. Do you not need weapons? The most important thing is that once you completely repair me, you will get a real Divine Weapon. The value of a Divine Weapon compared to the effort you have put in, your sacrifice is nothing. " As Teng Yan was in a daze, Xie Lu explained once again.    

"You still don't understand the value of a Divine Weapon. I'll put it this way. Since you know about the saint artifact, then you should know about its value. A Divine Weapon. Even if someone were to take ten thousand pieces, or even exchange them for a hundred thousand pieces of saint artifact, the owner would definitely not spare them a second glance. " Xie Lu added.    

A hundred thousand saint artifacts for a divine weapon?    

You aren't even exchanging for this?    

To be honest, Teng Yan was moved.    

"The same question. Why should I believe you?" Teng Yan immediately said.    

"Why don't you understand? Believe? You don't need to believe me. Now you can swallow me. If I were to use some tricks, wouldn't you just give up when the time comes? What do you want to believe in me for? If I wasn't on the verge of death, do you think I would be willing to acknowledge a countryside bumpkin like you as my master? " Xie Lu said with an impatient face.    

Country bumpkin?    

The corner of Teng Yan's mouth twitched.    

Wait a minute.    

Suddenly, Teng Yan was startled again.    

Swallowing?    

What Xie Lu said about devouring, seemed to be that Teng Yan was using his own soul to forcibly merge with Xie Lu. In that case, Teng Yan would indeed have to take a huge risk; after all, Teng Yan did not understand Xie Lu. But, Teng Yan suddenly thought of his own soul devourer, which could directly devour Xie Lu, since Xie Lu was only a spirit body, of course the condition was that Xie Lu would not resist, otherwise, with Teng Yan's cultivation level, he would not be able to devour Xie Lu. As long as Xie Lu did not resist, Teng Yan would definitely be able to completely engulf him. If he did not resist, then Teng Yan would only be injured and would not be in any life-threatening danger.    

"Alright, I agree." Thinking, Teng Yan said.
